Similar letters of reference indicate correure or breakage. To this endI embed two or more rods, A A, of wrought-iron longitudinally andparallel to one another in the castiron body B of the shoe during theprocess of casting the latter. These rods or wroughtiron strips are bentwith the shoe into its proper shape, extending through its entirelength, they being arranged on both sides of the bolt'holes D, by whichtheshoe is bolted upon the runner.
